Madison site re-write

Thomas A. Rollow, P.E.

Josh Silverman

This memo seeks approval to change the name, period of coverage and text for the Madison Site
(Speculite) on the DOE website. Last week, DOE OWA met with a representative of the Department of
Labor and our office was reminded that sub-contractors of Atomic Weapons Employers (AWE) are not
covered under the Energy Employees Oceupational Iiness Compensation Program Act (EROICPA). As
part of this reminder we were asked to examine the Madison Site description on our website as raising
potential coverage problems for people who worked there during the AWE timeframe. DOL also brought
to our attention that the federal register notice says “Spectrulite” and our website said “Speculite.” The
files support the federal register notice as being correct with regard to this issue.

In addition to these issues raised by DOL, our office has been working to more accurately define coverage
periods under the DOE’s Formerly Utilized Site Remediation Action Program (FUSRAP). In the case of
the Madison Site, no cleanup work was ever performed as part of this program and therefore the
designation of DOE for the years 1992-1998 is inaccurate. There are four claims at L’enfant plaza for
people who claim employment at this location during the timeframe currently listed on the website as a
“DOE.”

Enclosed in this package is a printout from our website with the current information for Madison Site. A
proposed new listing is also included. The revised listing is designed to fix all issues noted above. We have

also included a page from the most recent federal register notice highlighting the current listing for this
AWE. .

Please sign below to acknowledge your approval for updating all the information outlined in this package.
Once your approval is received, we will update our website.
